Tell HN: AI coding is not for the impatient

ghoshbishakh — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 14:14:36 +0000

AI coding requires patience. Not because the models are slow, but because the workflow itself is iterative.

Many people say AI coding tools are overhyped because they don’t give perfect code in one prompt. But that expectation is wrong.

AI works better if you treat it like working with a very fast junior engineer. Give a small task. Look at the output. Fix the instruction. Repeat.

If you ask for a whole system in one prompt the result is usually messy. But if you break the work into smaller parts like functions or modules the results become much better.

The key skill is not prompt tricks. It is patience and breaking problems into small pieces and iterating.

His paper on communicating processes was a great read when I was new to computer science research.

We posted this warning on HN before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40195410

We struggled a lot when we opted for the .online domain for https://pinggy.io urls

ghoshbishakh — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 19:37:16 +0000

Should you learn - yes. Do you really need it - probably not now, but eventually yes. I use it always to set up my dev environment so that the team can have a consistent environment to work on.

New comment by ghoshbishakh in "Ask HN: What was your best interview experience?"

ghoshbishakh — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 19:36:01 +0000

As a candidate. The interviewer started with "This interview is not about what you don't know. It is all about what you know.". The interviewer was Kirit from a company called Endurance International Group.

Ask HN: Is there any scope of building a non AI startup?

ghoshbishakh — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 19:33:45 +0000

I run a small dev tool company. I was looking to start my next project. But it seems like there is no point of building dev tools now since nothing apart from AI is getting any traction.

Should I just swallow my interests and do something related to AI? Or do you think a subscription management API can be a useful product?

https://pinggy.io

The core features of this tunneling tool are stable. I am working on adding support for TCP as well as UDP traffic through the same tunnel.

Not a drop in replacement to ngrok. I think pinggy remains a better alternative of ngrok.

For cf tunnel alternatives are available, I maintain pinggy.io

For that kind of end-to-end encryption I use pinggy.io tls tunnels.

ghoshbishakh — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 07:48:47 +0000

Zero trust is a marketing term used by them - surprisingly it has nothing to do with end-to-end encryption also.

I am working on Pinggy (https://pinggy.io/) to make it the easiest tunneling tool.

One feature we are working on is an attachable public IP. For those behind CGNAT, they can run this app and get a public IP instantly.

Nice work testing free tiers against a pro subscription.

It is a tunnel, cant be used to browse a site through it isn't it?

Try pinggy.io for hosting once ;)

So do you suggest we should avoid setting a color in our CLI app? We would take this into consideration in our next pinggy.io CLI update.
